Decided to try a different crop and add the texture of a wall - just a little bit. I'm thinking the one before might be better as this has nothing in it to give it scale, whereas the other had a tower and a mountain range, even though they were barely visible in the mist. Hmm.
I took a similar photo of an Asclepias physocarpa which is a shrub in the Milkweed family that is native to South Africa. For obvious reasons, Annie's Annuals in Richmond calls it the "Family Jewels Tree". I posted a similar photo a couple of years ago with foliage in the background. I think I like this one better with the setting sun illuminating it against the blue sky.

Today marks 7 months since my final of Kemosabe Liquid Sunshine treatment, and I continue to slowly heal. It's me, so I forever want to jump the gun and look for instant gratification but that's not happening here. I need to be patient. Which is hard, because I am a walker, and I need that connection with the pavement and the outdoors.
Following four months of remote work, I returned to my office in January, one day a week, then two, then three. My hope was to keep adding days each month, but three (Monday, Wednesday and Thursday) has been my limit, and even then fatigue sometimes wins on that second Thursday. This coming Monday I begin a new schedule: in-person Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with remote work on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My boss and I are hoping this alternating rhythm gives me the rest I need.
Yesterday I had an appointment at the Medical Complex. I rode the subway two stops there, but on such a beautiful Spring afternoon, I chose to walk home. Halfway there I was getting tired, but it was just too nice out. It's challenges like these that push me forward. I simply cannot sit idle and watch my life pass by without giving it my all.

I may still be convalescing from the CIPN (Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy), though that should in no way imply I'm miserable, as several friends have mentioned how I must be. I'm not, actually, in any sense of that word. It is healing if not very, very slowly. A snails pace might probably be faster. LOL. It is what it is and I will get past this.

A Widow for One Year
~ by John Irving
I've read this novel several times, it's that good, though this is my first experience listening to it via Audible
- -
Ruth Cole is a complex, often self-contradictory character--a "difficult" woman. By no means is she conventionally "nice," but she will never be forgotten.
Ruth's story is told in three parts, each focusing on a crucial time in her life. When we first meet her--on Long Island, in the summer of 1958--Ruth is only four.
The second window into Ruth's life opens in the fall of 1990, when Ruth is an unmarried woman whose personal life is not nearly as successful as her literary career. She distrusts her judgment in men, for good reason.
A Widow for One Year closes in the autumn of 1995, when Ruth Cole is a forty-one-year-old widow and mother. She's about to fall in love for the first time.

The Sunnyside Train Yard, Queens, NYC is comprised of 180 acres (72.8 hectares), which is 6x the footprint of Hudson Yards, 2x the size of Battery Park City, and 30 acres larger than Roosevelt Island. As with the other yards (Atlantic & Hudson), Sunnyside is also slated to have a platform constructed above it, so as to further erect buildings and roads atop that. For several years now major realtors have been building properties around the perimeter of the Sunnyside Yard. They're all like vultures, waiting on the kill.

History of the site:
After 40 years in business the Neptune Diner located in Astoria, Queens, NYC served its last meal on Sunday, July 29. 2024. The owners claimed they were not given a chance to renew their lease, because the property will soon be turned into a residential building.
Since 1983, The Katsihtis brothers have owned the building on Astoria Boulevard but not the land, which was sold in 2018 for over $10 million.
The brothers also had a 35-year lease which expired in 2019. But since then, they were not able to come to a long-term agreement with the landlord.

But that's what Long Island City/Astoria needs is another apartment building. It's already so overbuilt, it's ridiculous. Yet they keep tearing them down and building new ones, many of which are luxury rentals. The neighborhood is losing its character to steel and glass.

Yesterday, February 10, had been Flickr's 22nd Birthday
From Flickr's inception in February 2004, up until late 2011, I had been a hardcore Flickr user under the handle Newell the Jewell. My late partner, Angel, who passed away suddenly 20 years ago this coming June, would call me that, as a nickname. And within Flickr, I added an extra L to Jewel. For Christmas 2003, Angel had gifted me a digital camera. It was a tiny 2.0 MP Kodak easyshare camera, which had a charging/image transfer station. And after unwrapping the box I just stared at it as if I'd never seen a camera before. Now, Angel knew that I had once upon a time been very much into photography, having even studied film photography for many years at ICP (The International Center of Photography). Though it had been a costly hobby, and I just couldn't keep up with that aspect of it. This little digital camera was something completely different. It was essentially Star Trek meets 2003 Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. I really didn't know what to make of it all. I was excited, though also frightened, as I was essentially a stranger in a strange land. And digital photography was in its infancy back then.
Not even a month and a half later, Flickr launched and I took to it like a fish to water. Digital photography was just getting started and it was all amazing. And I wanted a DSLR and saved my pennies and bought a Canon Rebel, the name of which fit me to a tee. And in 2005 I had participated in a Flickr group showing of Digital Imagery at an Art Gallery up in Harlem.
Much has changed in the 20 years of my being a widower. The cancer and the chemo treatments taught me how precious life is. And perhaps the time has arrived for me to at last let go of that marital status completely, and look for another once again. Though without doing online dating or going to a bar. Tricky Ricky, but not impossible

Based on the location of the school across the street, I pulled up the New York City Tree Map (a street map of planted trees) and determined that this is a Crataegus, commonly called hawthorn, quickthorn, thornapple, May-tree, whitethorn, Mayflower or hawberry. Of which there are 1,000 or more species. Gracious, that's a lot of names and information.
You too can learn about trees in NYC via the New York City Tree Map (click to view the map) which includes 873,757 trees of 542 species spread throughout NYC's five boro's
